I feel we got scammed

Gerry_F, Feb 2026
No one show up at the pick up sight , we payed for a tour that we didn’t get , going to try to get our money back , only time will tell

They did not even show....

Raul_M, Nov 2025
They did not even show. We had the port autorities call him several times and he didn't pick up the phone. Several tour operators told us this company let stranded a lot of tourists. Do not book !

Operator no show

John_G, Oct 2025
Operator was a no show. We were 30 Minutes early. We waited another 30 minutes after link up time. No answer on the phone.

Not recommended

You are driving around in a van. You have to pay to use the restroom. Guides were so so. It’s hot and rushed.

Lots of driving

Sherry_N, Mar 2025
It was a small group. First spot with turtles too crowded. Flamingos wasn’t worth the time, could have skipped. Last beach beautiful

Good trip

Jo_J, Jan 2025
Good trip. Included snoring trip, beach trip and a stop at a flamingo lake. Saw turtles! No safari truck, was in a pick up truck or mini bus. So that was a bit disappointing.

Dirty

Christine_L, Jan 2025
Very dirty, long ride, spent more time in the car than any of the stops. 2 of the stops we were literally only there for 10 minutes each. They charged you to use the restroom. Disgusting beach and only saw 1 turtle.

Turtles and Beach great! Everything else just meh!

Heather_V, Dec 2024
The tour was late taking off from the cruise pier. The guide gave very little info- she barely talked. The sea turtle beach was crowded but amazing to see the turtles that up close. The 2!nd stop was beautiful- Wish we had more time there to actually get into the water and enjoy it. Last stop to see the flamingos was not that exciting- the area was not well Maintenance and we saw 6 flamingoes from a distance . Yes, I know you can’t control Mother Nature. Absolutely no info was given at any stops, just what time to be back at the vehicle. The drive is about 45 mins once you are picked up from the cruise port.

Thank you so much

The turtles were amazing at turtle bay- literally got pictures from inches away! And Knip Beach was gorgeous!

Worse experience ever

Hilda_B, Aug 2024
We were totally scammed. They never picked us up. 45 min later some pregnant women showed up, with no ID, nervous and dirty saying we had to walk half mile cause the bus wouldn't come to us. She had no names of people to pick up. We felt super unsafe. Requesting a FULL REFUND

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear Hilda, i am sorry you felt unsafe. However our guide meets our customers about 200-300feet away from the trucks parking. You are picked up in front of the cruise ship terminal which is a safe spot with cameras all around. We do have one of our colleagues who is pregnant at the moment so her uniform does not fit her. Nonetheless she does an excellent job and is very professional. We have daily trips leaving and are a secure company not only running land but also boat excursions with most customers satisfied as for making our customers happy is one of our main goals. Again we are sorry to hear about your experience of us.

Excelente, porém sem os flamingos.

Felipe_M, Sep 2024
O passeio é muito legal, nadar com as tartarugas é fascinante. A praia de Kenepa é uma das melhores que fui na vida, pena que muito curta - poderia ter uma meia hora a mais. Infelizmente não pudemos ver direito os flamingos, estavam muito distantes. Mas recomendo.
